  // NB-2 remember that stak is used in function calls for
  //  - return address
  //  - registers stakked
  //  - local variabels in a function
  //  So having 200 Bytes of stak excludes a local variable like ...
  //    int arr[400];  
  // krnl call k_unused_stak returns size of unused stak
  // Both task has same priority so krnl will shift between the
  // tasks every 10 milli second (speed set in k_start)
 
  k_start(10); // start kernel with tick speed 10 milli seconds
